Student Senate

A powerful force for positive change and community building, the MIT Sloan Senate is MIT Sloan's official student government — and a critical link between the student body and the School's program management. Every MIT Sloan student is a potential Senator, and we encourage you to participate even if you're not interested in the responsibility of office.

By charter, the Senate advocates for the general welfare of students at MIT Sloan, working in partnership with the student body and the School's program management, faculty, and alumni, as well as with companies who recruit at MIT Sloan and with students in affiliated programs.

The MIT Sloan Senate is broken into formal subcommittees that address issues around the School: Academic, Activities, Admissions, Alumni Relations, Communication, Facilities, and IT. Several informal committees also form each year, depending on student interest, on topics from professional standards to career development.

Student voices: Timothy Lawton, MBA ’10: "After my first year at MIT Sloan, I have found my passion in the area of finance. One of the great things about MIT Sloan is that you get a chance to be exposed to everything, which is especially good for a career changer like myself." More >>
